sptrout Posted June 23 #2 Share Posted June 23 None that I know of and I watchout for Celebrity news daily. They did port the Galaxy in Galveston several years ago before giving up (two seasons if I remember correctly). We did a Panama Cruise on the Galaxy from Galveston and it was very good itinerary (12 days as I recall). Galveston needs a good cruise line with 10-14 day itineraries. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted June 26 #4 Share Posted June 26 Unfortunately have not heard anything about celebrity sailing from Galveston, but extremely happy that MSc has one of their newer ship’s sailing from Galveston starting in November 2025. Their yacht club is nicer than celebrity suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sptrout Posted June 26 #5 Share Posted June 26 I agree George. MSC's YC is a great product based on the two sailings that we took with them out of Miami. We felt that the cabins (MSC vs. Celebrity's Sky Suite) were very similar, but the YC as a whole product is better that Celebrity's Retreat. Also, used to be much less expensive, but not so much any more. We booked a MSC-YC sailing out of Galveston as soon as they became available. Since we live on the north side of Houston and can drive (& park) to Galveston we have no air costs to consider. We have seen nearly every cruise available island in the Caribbean so we do not care where the ships goes. We also typically cruise in January so the first and last days out-of-Galveston can be cool to cold. We just go to the Spa, which as you probably know, is included with for YC passengers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are very similar, have done 60 something Caribbean cruises , when I booked my MSc yacht club leaving at the end of the year from Miami, I didn’t even look to see what the ports were . I am sure we will book MSc from Galveston while in board MSc later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just really glad to see "on the radar". It could have been "off the table"! Celebrity is my favorite of the lines I have cruised. Especially my Alaskan cruise. But then, Alaska is great no matter how you get there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
